Confirming emails for bots

Hey guys, I've written a program to create bulk accounts on a site, however ideally I would like all these accounts to be email verified, does anyone know an api/service I could use for this, ideally something free since I am not selling the accounts ~

What I need to do is just these two -
1. Create Mass Emails
2. Be able to get the email verify link once it gets the message

And I need to be able to do all of this with C# while creating the accounts, I don't want like an extension or something as I need to automate all of it (thousands of accounts)

Thanks!

So are you creating email accounts, or are you creating accounts on a website and an email account to go with it?

Either way, you could see if you can automate enabling imap/pop3 access on your email provider - perhaps it's even on by default. Then all you need to do is connect with C# via imap/pop3 to the email account(s) with the verification email, parse the email for the link, and make a request to it also using C#. Boom, verified.

Thanks for the response, to answer your question - the website uses an email account as the username, the main issue how would I go about creating the email accounts? As I'm pretty sure most of the big providers wouldn't let me create thousands of email accounts per day.

I'm not an expert on this but I'd agree that the big providers would stop you pretty quick. I think it's gonna be a bit of a world of pain, finding residential proxies at a decent price, finding a provider that you can do that with, keeping it maintained. You could perhaps use several providers to spread the overall amount between a few.

It may be worth just buying bulk email accounts to use from someone. I'm aware you can get lesser known provider email accounts for very cheap, plus I'd avoid big companies anyway when doing any kinda of automation at this scale. Just make sure that particular email provider allows pop3/imap access or you'll be stuck with coding a bespoke solution. There will be costs incurred either way.

An API that creates free email accounts for you? Good luck finding that.
Why not write your own?

Do you need your email accounts from common domain names like google or yahoo? If not, just setup your own domain + mail server with a catch-all address and collect the verifications links/codes that way.
